Keki N.Daruwalla is one of the most substantial poets among the ‘new’ Indian English poets who radicalized Indian English poems both in theme and language. Pre Independence poets like Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, Michael Madhusudan Dutt , Toru Dutt ,Ramesh Chandra Dutt were mainly imitators—they imitated the cult of romanticism of the British romantic poets like William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and Walter Scott. Apart from them there were poets like Sarojini Naidu, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh and Harindranath Chattopadhaya who were also romantic but their romanticism was fraught with spiritualism, nationalism, and mysticism.But the poets like Nissim Ezekiel, A.K. Ramanujan, Kamala Das and Keki N.Daruwalla were fed up with romantic idealism. They produced a body of protest literature in a satirical, cynical and ironical vein. Modernism in Indian English poetry made its inroads with them leading to the origin of ‘New Poetry' in the Indian literary sky. They derived much from the modern poets like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W.B. Yeats, W.H. Auden, Wallace Stevens and Dylan Thomas. This paper is an attempt to probe the sensibilities of Daruwalla as a poet who has a profound concern for the post independence Indian social realism , of say, violence, corruption, hypocrisy etc. His poems bespeak of his social commitment as a poet and his broad humanism.
